During the long weekend at the end of April, my wife and I had our first ever sighting of a Cape Clawless Otter in the KNP after more than 30 years of visiting the park regularly. We were at the Sweni Bird Hide at around 09h30 and noticed the otter on the far bank. It made its way all the way down to the S37 causeway and then disappeared.

I wonder if others would like to share their experience of encountering this beautiful animal in the Kruger

Wealso saw these cute little creature a few years back in a pond just up from Satara I do hope you managed to take a few photos .... Lovely day in CT today after the rain last night though your part of the woods always seems to stay green

I was at Skukuza late last year and enjoyed a morning with about 6 clawless otters playing in the water below the camp and even chasing off a crocodile. Beautiful animals

I see in your signature May 2016 you'll be in Lower Sabie..............may you be blessed with some stunning Otter sightings!
